The Devs need a much needed thanks!

[Anienai]

Again: Thank you Devs for bringing us an amazing game. I know mistakes are made, we are all human and you all do your best to fix it. I look forward to seeing what you bring in 6.25 and 6.3.

Well typed.

It's crazy that we've gotten to a point where most praise will get you labeled as a shill/white knight. Folks will rag on you cause "dumb person thanks the big corpo that doesn't care about you" and it's just...sad really. Not everyone is thanking the devs as some devious shot at the folks complaining. Some people GENUINELY are thankful and thats ok. If folks can talk about how the devs suck n need to lose thier jobs then I think it's more than ok for people to thank the devs when they feel the devs deserve it. Shooting those people down and labeling based on what you THINK their goal is (despite not doing or saying anything wrong) is bogus. Period.

People are praising a game during the weakest expansion pack yet, is it that hard to figure out? lmao

OR, many people don't see it as the weakest expansion pack yet.

I certainly don't see it as the best expansion, but I've seen a lot of people saying it's their favorite.

Yes, but this isn't what's going on in this thread. The thread was clearly, deliberately created as an opposition to the controversies of this week and we had many posters who were more concerned with "the haters" than actually thanking the devs. And it happens each time. Mismanagement caused Endwalker to be delayed two weeks at the very last second? Why yes, it's the best time to congratulate the devs for a jobs well done!

And I thought you all hated non-constructive criticism? This thread is anything but constructive, it's basically empty virtue signaling who only really help OP and the other feel better about themselves.

Also the EW delay was months ago, why tf is that relevant rn?

Because EW delay was one other time I remember when we had a wave of "thank you SE" posts just after a major controversy.

These forum threads don't exist in a vacuum. Most of the faces in here are familiar to anyone who spends time here, and it's not that hard to figure out their game based on their pattern of behavior everywhere else on these boards. Some of these users go around constantly instigating moralistic arguments, or making weird excuses for the devs, in every single thread that appears even vaguely critical of any aspect of the game.

Sure. And on the flip side many people lurk threads with the goal of killing any sort of positive take on anything related to the game or the devs.

For all you know folks may be trying to change their tune. I myself was VERY antagonistic to certain folks in the past due to some irl things i was dealing with. I've since tried to keep calm and try to be fair to everyone. I feel all folks should be given that shot before being automatically labeled. I'm a firm believer that part of the toxic positivity this game has is due to folks shutting down genuinely positive folks with no ill intent.

Also Imp nothing that person said even remotely sounded like "raid hate". They simply said many don't care about raiding so the whole "raids hurt you" makes little sense tbh

They’ll say anything to justify/rationalize their hate. Calling people white knights just allows them to compartmentalize and dismiss anyone with a positive attitude. At the end of the day they won’t stop until everyone is depressed, the developers hate their jobs, no one cares anymore, and the game really starts to suck and shut down. Like legit, all they do is make the world a worse place.

They don’t know any better than to destroy everything in their path and are too ignorant to realize hate just breeds hate. The only thing decent people can do is let the developers know they have our support and respectfully pointing out where we would like improvement. Everything else is uncalled for and no amount of justification or rationalization will change that. They are all human beings.

Humanity is truly appalling now a days.

Just wanted to let everyone know that Between 2000-2018, suicide mortality rates rose by 35 percent in the United States alone. How about some of y’all try being part of the solution and not the cause. How people phrase feedback matters. And the pressure developers feel is real.

It still makes me laugh that we are in the "just unsub, hater!" phase of the downfall of WoW. What a ride~!

SE could do better in many aspects, and if/when they do, they will earn the praise. At that point users might see a more positive change in atmosphere here.
